It is necessary to remove the upper engine mounting strut to remove the water pump? I'm not shure, she comes out when i left the strut in place. (The strut is shown on the left side of the engine, looks in silver color). :|
Reason: cooling water squirts on powersteering pump, the seal is broken.

If you support the engine underneath with a floorjack and block of wood (careful of the oil pan) and remove the front mount, then you can jack th engine up a little for more working space

Suggested Repair

Support the engine from underneath with a floor jack and a block of wood, keeping the jack clear of the oil pan. Remove the front mount and raise the engine slightly to gain working room for the water pump.

The expert advised supporting the engine with a floor jack and wood block, avoiding the oil pan, removing the front mount, and raising the engine slightly for more working space.
